I am semi-actively considering both 'Exploiting codes-of-conduct for fun and profit' and 'Making life hard for the internet of rubbish things'

Both good, the second seems more juicy to me.

Hm.

Option two is more obviously hackery because it's cocking around with switches and packets and that sort of thing fits in the boxes people understand.

Option one feels like its an attempt to exploit written language via post-structuralist attack vectors. Which is the sort of thing that's utterly amazing to watch when the likes of @effjayem are doing it.

Attempts to mitigate that sort of attack result in obfuscation like the first couple of paras here: http://ourqueerstories.com/dear-my-sweet-queer-family-lets-combat-femmephobia/

I should do some submitting too, shouldn't I ?

[hirez]

Yes. 'How to come up with strange things'

[jarkman]

That's a thought. Hm. Can we even describe the process ? Is it teachable ?

I had talked to Libby about some kind of card-based talk/workshop. Could demo the Hackspace Inventing Cards too. Which is in the right direction, and maybe does help inculcate a certain flexibility of thinking. Any other ideas ?

Which reminds me - going to talk about Project Tarot ? Sell decks ?

[hirez]

I would like to think so, because from my angle, it is collaborative and works a lot like improv comedy. The project tarot would fit well as an example.
